ABOUT

Soft Like Kittens yarn is hand dyed by Annette M. Russell in Auckland, New Zealand. (Hi!)

I love to make nature-inspired colourways that knit and crochet up as beautifully as they appear in the skein.


I am also on Twitter and Instagram.

SHOP

Soft Like Kittens is currently taking an indefinite hiatus.

At this stage I don't know if or when I will be returning to regular dyeing and I am not taking any custom orders. My apologies to anyone inconvenienced or disappointed.

Occasionally, however, I dye a batch of one-of-a-kind skeins and have a "flash sale" on Etsy - like an online popup shop! Such events will be notified here and via Instagram and the Ravelry group.
